The "Law of Accounting" is a branch of law that has not received much attention in Greece until today. Many legal scholars believe that accounting is not a form of law, perhaps not even a science, but simply a "technique" based on "adaptable" rules. This work aims to provide the legal community, as well as students, with an accessible manual introducing them to this legal field, which in recent years has been scientifically rejuvenated by the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards and the reform of Greek accounting law with Law 4308/2014.

The manual aims not only to introduce lawyers to accounting but also to the accounting community. The contribution of legal professionals in interpreting accounting rules can be useful to accountants, who daily face accounting law rules, many of which originate from the EU. The composition of the author team (three lawyers and one certified public accountant) aims to blend legal thinking with the approach of an accountant, who is knowledgeable about modern trends in accounting and auditing.

The work analyzes fundamental concepts of accounting science, Greek Accounting Standards (ELP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), financial statement analysis, accounting systems, and auditing principles. It includes representative examples and is accompanied by an alphabetical index.
